Reform's Opponents

José Antonio Crespo on the opposition to political reform from the PRI and the PRD:

The PRI and the PRD have questioned Calderón's reform for being small and insufficient, so we would then expect that both present proposals for a true reform of the state. If not, it will be confirmed that their rejection of Calderón's initiative responds to a systematic negation of all that comes from the executive (as happens with frequency) or because of the political-electoral backdrop. If the initiative didn't go far enough, if it is stingy and insufficient, the opposition legislators (as even those of the PAN) can modify or adjust it based on what is missing. We wait to see, then, the great reform of the state that the PRI and PRD will propose, so as to not remain only with what they consider the insufficient and scattered proposal from Calderón or, worse still, with nothing.
